It was an afternoon which we were looking for some tea time snacks around Taman Ungku Tun Aminah. Taman Ungku Tun Aminah is an old residential area, with some long-standing restaurants or eatery within the housing area. There is a "food street" in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, which gathers all the hawker trucks, eatery shops which selling various foods and snacks in the afternoon. If you are hungry or looking for a place for light foods in the afternoon, this can be a paradise for variety, there are penang laksa, curry mee, lok lok, wanton mee and etc.

"Lok Lok" means bit-size food on wooden skewers. Lok Lok is one of the popular street food at night, but we are surprised that we are able to enjoy this street food at day time! At the early days, the raw food or semi-cooked food can only be dipped into vats of boiling water, and to be paired with peanut sauce or sweet sauce. Now, to satisfy youngster's curiosity and taste bud, most of the Lok Lok's business operators have invented different cooking methods, we can now deep fry or grill our "Lok Lok"

We have ordered few sticks as our tea time snacks. The mini hot dogs was deep-dried, chicken wing was grilled, kangkung and century eggs were boiled with hot water. Different taste, different biting textures in a plate. There are plenty choices for sauce too.

Curry Mee 北海咖哩面 RM4

Within the same eatery, there is another stall selling curry mee. With the price of RM4, I am definitely satisfied with the rich ingredients that they used, comprising fish cakes, boiled egg, tau bok, long beans and clams. The taste is not of top excellence, but it indeed satisfy my craving of having a hot and spicy curry mee.

There are few other stalls outside the eatery and also other eateries within the same row of shops. If you are hungry in the afternoon, this will definitely be your paradise of affordable foods!
